En La Penca De Un Maguey

Engraved in the agave plant's leaf
Your name joined with mine, intertwined
As evidence before the law of the mountain
That we were in love there

It was you who searched for the leaf
The most beautiful, the most slender
And you even said I should also engrave
Two hearts with an arrow

And now you say you don't remember
That nothing is true, just words
I am calm because in the end
In our irilio, the leaves speak

(And you know, ungrateful, the mountain still
Awaits us, my dear)

The same night you changed my love
You also cut that leaf
You thought that if I saw it
It would be like an offering to you

You forgot that the agave plant knew
What you swore on this night
And that in its own way, it could also
Reproach you

I don't know if you believe the strange things
That my eyes see, maybe you'll be surprised
The new leaves that sprout on the agave plant
Are marked with our names
